clintthecrippler Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Maybe not as stiff as the Japan matches mentioned above, but I was watching the One Man Gang vs. Big Bubba Rogers match from the Mid-South set last night and thought of this thread. The first half of the match is pretty much just fat guys throwing bombs at each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingliam Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Finlay vs Regal in the parking lot brawl from Nitro probably fits the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 The Hashimoto/Regal IWGP title match from '95 would be my pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm29195 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Vader vs Boss man from Spring Stampede 1994 is a fun super heavyweight sprint where they knock the stuffing out of each other. Bossman's best match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topropepodcast Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I gotta throw a mention to Steiners vs. Fujinami/Iizuka from WrestleWar '92. Â Iizuka just gets the HELL beaten out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muracofan Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I gotta throw a mention to Steiners vs. Fujinami/Iizuka from WrestleWar '92. Â Iizuka just gets the HELL beaten out of him. I was live in Jacksonville for the Steiners beat down on Iizuka and it was even more brutal watching from the second row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Some of those Garvin vs Valentine matches are pretty stiff. I enjoyed an MSG one they had just as much as the Rumble match, can't remember the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayfabe1984 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Personally, I liked the Kobashi/Sasaki match from the Tokyo Dome in '05. Kobashi's match from the same venue a year prior with Jun Akiyama is just a brutal, stiff fight. Â The Low-Ki vs. KENTA match from ROH Final Battle '05 is stiff as all hell.

MJH Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Dream Rush Tag. Hokuto/Kandori's already been mentioned. There's a shitload of Joshi from then (and other times) that could apply, but you might as well take the best matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanClingman Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 All of the Shibata/Goto and Shibata/Ishii matches from this year seem to fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Lioness Asuka vs. Yumiko Hotta (AJW 3/26/95) Â Dubbed a UFC Rules Match, just insanely brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I recently saw Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki, and I'm amazed that it hasn't been mentioned yet. In fact, it pretty much epitomizes what I had in mind when I created this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 There's a Kawada/Nagai match from 2001 where Nagai basically gets nothing in at all and Kawada just destroys him. He busts out the half crab and stomps, which made me cringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
